Awesome. You'll never study in this town again!

Is there another program you would use over Outlook? I use it cause it's handy and I don't really know any good alternatives...

If you want an integrated browser/email solution - I like Opera. And it's free.

Thunderbird seems to be losing traction internal to Mozilla, but it's still got chops. And it's free.

Chaos Intellect, it's not free, but it combines email, contact management, and personal datebook. It also combines what I consider the better features of Outlook, without the proprietary file structures and scattered system folders.

Some people like Eudora. I think it should be taken out back and shot.

Does Thunderbird have contacts/datebook? Cause that's all I really need. I don't even use Outlook for the Email option.

It has email contacts...but it's not a PIM.

If you want a contacts/datebook, I'd look into Sunbird (their calendaring/PIM) also from mozilla.

Or go to snapfiles.com, -> freeware section, -> Information management. Sounds like what you want is a PIM (Personal Information Manager).

Lord Tirian, you have NO IDEA how good you have it now, speaking as an ex-student.

Oh, I think I have a rough idea - I just want to complain - it's fun!

I'd rather want to complain about the lack of a proper group during my studies (as opposed to vacation), but that's another problem - caused by procrastination as well...

Well, back to the main topic: Cheese.

Cheese, LT.

Actually, that's exactly what I needed, though I had never heard of the term Personal Information Manager before. Thanks much.

You are welcome. Also, keep in mind, lots of them tweak the interfaces in different ways based on what the programmer thinks makes sense to access/manipulate your info. I'd suggest downloading a few that are highly rated, and play with the ones that have the most intuitive interface for you. Then settle on one that works best for you.

I've seen too many people choose a program, or accept a program (like Outlook or Palm Desktop), and just bull through accepting its limitations, and hate the program, but feel there aren't options that would work better with their style/intuition. And that just makes unhappy users.

Hello hive. My body doesn't seem to want to sleep much past 9:00 am. I did get 7½ hours of sleep last night though.

 

[Mycanid]

Ow, my ribs. Laughing hurts...

I see we had a new Hiver come in last night. Need to poke him with our secret society maybe...

YW.

Of course, you being in Germany means you're awake at the same time as me.

We've just had a massive systems crash at work, and IT are saying it might not be fixed within 'the next few hours'. Hah. This is going to be entertaining.

Optimism can be a good thing ... sometimes.
